    I don't think this will simplify the MOO language either. It might be a nice

    when it tries to set the property.

    Well, when I did the "Verbed Properties" hack, I made a two new built-in
    wizardly functions, "property_full()", and "set_property_full()", which
    retrieved and adjusted "actual" properties as necessary.  These were only
    called by verbs on #1.  To _actually_ set a value from _set_number(), you just
    pass(@args).
